Artists Bio

Erica was born on Wiradjuri Country, Dubbo NSW, and spent most of her childhood in the Central West until her family made the move to Birpai, Port Macquarie when she was around 14 years of age. Although she has traveled away throughout her adult years, she has now returned to Port Macquarie with her partner to have their firstborn Son.

As a proud Gomeroi descendant, a granddaughter of a long line of strong women, and now a young Mother herself, Erica believes it is a part of her life path to ensure that Culture remains of high importance throughout family life and to also be shared within the wider community.
